The Christmas Gift.
Giving gifts on Christmas day is
in keeping with the spirit of the
Savior whose birthday we commemo
rate on December 25th, because
Christ was the greatest giver of all
time. Yet in celebrating the birth
day of the Master, sight Is some-
times lost of His great gift to hu-
manity—Christianity.
It has been said that people ac-
cept Christianity rather than be-
lieve it, and believe it rather than
practice it. There would seem to be
considerable truth in this statement.
During the years 1914-1918 the
Christian world and not the pagan
world waged the greatest war of al)
time, and now as we are on the
threshold of another Christmas day,
nations that fly the banner of the
Cross are on the verge of going to
war with one another. Not only this
but there Is turmoil and distress
within the nations. Indeed rare are
the people who practice the precepts
of Christianity from one Christmas
day to the next.
Yet, notwithstanding, Christian
ity is a gift that one cannot afford
to reject. The principles of the
Christian religion are as unmistake-
ably true as the law of gravitation.
It is a rich gift; one that can be
used in endless ways to solve the
problems of life and bring more
happiness to the world.
So, perhaps, during this Yuletide
season giving thought to the Giver
and His Gift will greatly add to the
joy and happiness of the Christmas
day.
Hope Revived.
The following editorial gives a
very definite reason why Walia
Walla should negotiate in every way
to promote immediate construction
of a dam at Umatilla rapids, which
will make the Columbia navigable
to Pasco and up the Snake river.
Encouragement is felt here over
possibilities of a change in freight
rates which will wipe out the dif
ferential now existing and open the
markets of Seattle and other Juget
Sound points ‘ Walla Walla wheat
and eliminate the penalty on other
products. Some Seattle workers for
the removal of the differential say
i . t it will b- possible to bring it
t-out because u tie ruling that port
equalization should be left within
the discretion or the carriers, al
though Portland interests, which
now get practically all of our wheal
because of the lower rates, say the
situation will ve let unchanged.
In tables accompanying the report
of the interstate commerce commis
sion the rates for points south of the
Snake river (the Walls Walla ter-
ritory) are set on a differential bas
is making rates two cents a hundred
pounds higher to Seattle than to
Portland.
George J. Hall, Interstat? com
merce commission examiner al
Washington, D. C., however, in an
Interpretation of the ruling just an
nounced said that the railroads
would be permitted to choose wheth-
er to maintain the differential pre-
vlously prescribed for Portland un
der Seattle.
Years ago when a hearing was
held In Walla Walla before tne I.C.
C. examiner in an effort to upset
the differential, the railroads ex
pressed a willingness to do away
with the differential.
The Seattle Interpretation, as well
as that of George J. Hall, and I. C.
C. examiner, Is that it is within the
discretion of the railroads. Walla
Walla shippers, who carried on a
battle years ago to do away with the
differential, believe that if a modi
fication is brought about by the
railroads It would widen the market
for the wheat, grown south of the
Snake river, very materially and
would give growers more for their
grain than they can get in a re
stricted market. Walla Walla wheat
once moved freely to Seattle, but

when the differential was put into
effect, practically all the grain went
down the river. Seattle and Tacoma
buyers had to withdraw. Portland |
interests have always argued that |
the Walla Walla district growers re- |
ceived the benefit of the lower rate,
but the growers themselves con
tend that they would get more if
the market were larger and more
dealers were bidding for grain. They
say that in the old days when Coast
shippers needed wheat to fill out a
cargo they bought freely and that
they, the growers, received the
benefit.
A change would cheapen the cost
of shipping vegetables, most of
which go to Seattle and at a higher
rate. The differential also affects
all shipments into Walla Walla and
vicinity.
It possibly will be a while before
full information is obtained as to
the ruling and its effect, but In the
meantime the, growers of this dist
rict are hopeful.—Walla Walla Bul

UCH thought is given to the
question of business.
For
most people, supply seems to
be dependent upon the state of busi
ness. If it is good, supply appears to
be adequate; and this condition is
thought to he an influence tn helping
the individual to live happily and to
have good health. Seeing, then, that
the state of one’s business is believed
to greatly contribute to one's sense
of harmony, we should see the neces
sity of looking al this question from
the right standpoint.
Some Individuals look at this sub
ject more hopefully than do some
others. Many people are beginning
to see that to tuke the stand that
business is bad. and that it is going
to get worse, is certainly the wrong
way to think about it Many have
stopped using the word “depression.”
feeling that the continual use of it
has a bad effect upon the general
outlook.
Business Is primarily mental. In
fact, all human experience Is the out
ward expression of a state of con
sciousness. Christian Science reveals
God, infinite good, as the only Mind
If the individual accepts this fact,
he can learn how to reject all wrong
thoughts. The acceptance of God. in-
finite good, as the only Mind opens
his thought to receive the good and
perfect ideas which come from God,
divine Mind
The only real business is the activ
ity which comes from God. The one
infinite, spiritual creation is always
expressing the perfect activity which
comes from the creator. Wonderfully
uplifting is the realisation of the
truth set forth tn this statement by
Mary Baker Eddy: "Mind Is the
source of all movement, and there la
no Inertia to retard or check its per
petual and harmonious action” (Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures, p. 181). For several yeara
the world has been accepting the gen
eral belief that something has inter
fered with harmonious activity; and

Among the citations which com

following from the Bible: "Know
therefore this day, and consider
It in thine heart, that the Lord
he is God in heaven above, and
upon the earth beneath; there is
none else" (Deut. 4:39),
The Lesson-Sermon also includ
ed the following correlative pas
sages from the Christian Science
textbook, "Science and Health

Mary Baker Eddy: "God being
everywhere and all-inclusive, how
can He be absent or suggest the
absence of omnipresence and om-

both time and effort have been ex
pended in trying to ascertain what la
| the trouble. One who accepts the
fact that omnipotent Mind "is the
source of all movement" can never
believe in depression as real. Hav
ing gained the true idea of activity,
one can refuse to accept the belief
that any mortal supposition has in
terfered. or ever can Interfere, with
harmonious activity.
A business man might be told by
several of his salesmen that they
found sales very poor, and he might
learn that someone in a similar line
of business had failed. He might let
anxiety and fear eater his thought.
This, of course, would not be helpful.
On the other hand, If he refused to
accept wrong thoughts about business
and held to the fact that real activity
comes from divine Mind, and is al
ways perfect, his affairs would im-
prove; and to this extent he would
help to improve conditions in general.
Since harmonious activity comes
from God. divine Mind, and the real
man. the true selfhood of all. is the
linage and likeness of divine Mind,
the real man’s business is always
good, and spiritual man is ever re-
joking In harmonious activity. The
great Way-shower, Christ Jesus, rec-
ognized that spiritual man ever re-
fleets God. for he said. "The Son can
do nothing of himself, but what he
seeth the Father do: for what things
soever he doeth. these also doeth the
Son likewise." One who accepts the
true idea of activity is able to rise
above the beliefs of fatigue, monot
ony. and worry; for the realisation
of the fact that man reflects divine
Mind gives joyoua strength, freedom,
and expectancy of good.
Since business Is In reality the
activity which comes from God, di
vine Principle, fear, dishonesty,
greed, st lUshneae. and lack of ability
are no part of real business. This
knowledge enables one to refuse to
accept ti ese falsities as having power
to operate tn his thought and affaire;
and ho sees Instead honesty, efficien-
ry. freedom, love, and joy. The
realisation of the truth brings one's
human business Into harmony with
God's law. and destroys whatever is
unlike good,— The Christian Science
